Where are our past presidents? PResident OBama? PResident CLinton? President BIden? PResident BUsh? They still garner the title President. We need their collective wisdom and non-partisan leadership to intercess and stand up to the TREASONOUS machinations of Trump. OUR DEMOCRACY IS IN PERIL….Canada is our friend and confidant. TRUMP IS GUILTY OF TREASON! He is single handedly dismantling decades of peace, goodwill, friiendship and above all SAFETY with our French Canadian neighbors. America is in serious trouble. CNN a you have a responsibility to use your far reaching platform to seek out the opiNions and diplomatic aid of our surviving better presidents. They possess the hardwon wisdom and experience to engage with world leaders and our senators…..\nPlease take a stand. These are scary moments. TRUMP IS GUILTY OF TREASON!\nHELP! SOS! ⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓

I have to agree. We should be very proud of Trudeau. So eloquently and articulately delivered with facts, no hesitation or backing down. Thank you, PM Trudeau we stand behind you as do most of the world. I have heard from so many friends/relatives in different parts of the world saying we should be proud. We stand strong. We are Canadian eh. ??

As an American I am ashamed and embarrassed of our corrupt government. I stand with our ally Canadians. It is sickening to realize something is going to explode in the U.S. we Americans are already suffering with inflation and homelessness. It is terrible how we are raising the tariffs to our friendly Canadians. We stand with the ppl of Canada today and always! ❤

US Veteran, here. Thank you Canada. Regardless of my late grandma being Canadian, I respect and adore Canada for which it stands.

This Vermonter is descended from the first 14 European Canadian women settlers and I stand with you my neighbors and family. I'm so ashamed of what my country has done. We are sorry.

I stand with the Canadian Truckers......ENOUGH SAID...!\nNEVER FORGET

As A Canadian... I'm not a fan of Justin ... but his speech right here is exactly how Canadians feel .. we know it's not the average American... and we applaud you for standing with us ... But this is a speech America needed to hear

Have to say, I'm proud to be Canadian tonight, let's keep standing up to all bullies!!

I am from Alberta, Canada and would like to thank all the American people that have said that they stand with Canada. YOU CAN HELP. Call or write to your various levels of government and let them know that this is wrong and will hurt everyone in the US and Canada. The sooner that the US government realizes this is a no win situation, the better for all of us. Also, thank you to everyone around the world for your support. I am Canadian, I am strong and free and I will fight for my country and for my family.

Imagine if Trudeau announced that he would be pausing the carbon tax on the Canadian people to help offset some of the costs imposed on us by the United States. Do I respect that he is standing up for Canadians...Yes! Is Donald foolish in creating a trade dispute between his closest friends and Allies...Yes! Who's going to suffer....everyone! Government screwing over the people continues as it always have.

We, the American people stand with Canada ??. God bless Canadian citizens and governments ? ?? ? ? ? ?.

French Canadian from Montreal... Proud to stand against a bully! ?? Canadian must unite and stay strong..

This dumb PM is on his way out because Canadians could not stand this idiot. He is doing more Damage in his last few weeks in office.

PM Trudeau you are a leader, Canadian's please stand strong with your PM and don't let Putin/Trump tear your country apart. Our president is compromised, in any other time a president would have been brought up on treason/ traitor. It is beyond me why the Republicans are not standing up to him. My grandfather fought in WWll against Hilter in Africa, where are our heros now?

how are y’all standing with Canada but ain’t even in Canadian territory? get walking

As a Canadian citizen we stand with trump

Dude Its a shame you stepped down. Because you are one Awesome leader. I would rather be #Canadian Right now Than an American. I have found that being an American is not what I hoped it might be. I have been to Canada. Its a wonderful Beautiful nation and its people are some of the coolest in the world. I live so Close to Canada I am sorry We are doing this to you. and the Great Canadian's. I am incensed and angry right now. I want to just leave and defect to another country. I can not Stand the Hideous evil Man Trump And his lackey sidekicks Musk and VD Vance. They are destroying this great nation. Why the military has not stepped in here. Only shows its Cowardice and weakness to follow its own oaths to the nation and its people. Trumps first term was a nightmare. This Term is horrifying. And its killing people. Soon there will be Farms/Camps. Then worse things will come. In Advance There are those of us who are sorry now. Many of us do not have the ability to stop this. and we really really want too.

I am very glad our prime minister has stepped up and pushed back hard with what the orange predator down south and his puppet master, Putin, have forced on us. I have no doubt that this is going to be hard economically for us, but is a necessary step. Together, as a sovereign nation, we can weather this \n storm. Im very proud of how much Canadians have stepped up to support local and Canadian companies over American products. As our national anthem says, we stand on guard for thee. That includes all Canadian, no matter what skin color or background we are. United we are, and always will be, a force not to be pushed around.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

I.m so proud of you to standing on truth be blessed a lot canadian God will help us in Jesus's name.

As an American, I want to apologize to Canadians for this completely unnecessary crisis. tRump (aka Krasnov) is obviously working with Russia to dismantle the US. Thank you for standing up to this egregious violation of the Oath of Office and the trust of the American people (not that I ever trusted this traitorous mob). I applaud your actions!

British here - we will stand with our Canadian brothers and sisters.

He is completely correct. I stand with Canada. \n I never thought I would ever see the day that our Canadian brothers would suffer from us like this. I want to cry !! ???????????

Sell your stuff to Europe, sell us your gas and oil instead selling it to the USA. Put Canadian flags on your product, we will stand behind you all the way.??????????❤

Sounds great, but Trudeau won't stand up for Canadian national unity by forcing his home province's premier (Quebec) to let a pipeline through that province.

Has Trump or Vance already demanded aplogises from Canada/Should all Canadians stand on their knees? How long americans gonna stand that trump insanity?? I think toaday everybode admits that it is sheer clinical insanity

Well done to Prime Minister Trudeau and the Canadian people for standing up to donOLD. Find other markets for your goods. There are other countries who would love to replace the American products on your shelves

As much as people have been knocking Trudeau for years, This addressing is clear cut and I couldn't see any other PM nominee addressing this situation this way. As a Canadian citizen I stand behind my prime minister with this interview.

Yes, we will be hurt. There is not a problem with the American people, but there is a problem with the American government. We will stand with you against trump's robber baron policies.\n At the same time, We Will support our nation and fellow Canadians through these 'stupid' times.\n With thanks, from British Columbia ??

Thank you to everyone from all over the world in support of Canada standing up to Trump. As a Canadian born in N. Ireland who loves the US, and have many friends there, i am emotional reading all these comments especially the us folks, it gives me hope. Im to old and broke down to be in on the front lines, but i will limp my way to fight for this country. We are not for sale.\nELBOWS UP\nPeace from Toronto

As an American, we stand with our Canadian brothers except this wimp Trudeau and his terrorist sympathizer ally Jagmeet.

Fellow Canadians, stand behind him. Stay strong.\n\nWe need President Trump to take over. Make Canada America Again.\n\n82% of Canadians support President Trump\n\n61% of Canadians want to be part of a great pure America

Ohio has SO many Canadian products and gas stations. It's going to get VERY hard, very quickly. Hang in there Canada. The majority of America stands with you❤

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

Felon 47 is a monster and a traitor. There are no more words to describe this moron and his malevolence. To all our Canadian friends, remember that half of the US hates this disgusting man and rejects everything he stand for.

Canadian here and i was just hoping he wasn't gonna just roll over to Trump and I'm so glad he didn't nor do I understand him claiming we're the ones bringing the fent. I knew that was bulls**t. I'm actually FINALLY quite proud of an action out of this man FINALLY, cuz let's face it Trudeau, ya aint done much positive other than legalizing the weed. But I kinda believe in ya now for growing a set and actually standing up here.

TRUMP WANTS AMERICANS BEGGING IN THE STREETS. ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN KNOWS THAT TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE EXCEPT HIMSELF PERIOD!\nHE IS AFTER ALL A LIAR, A CROOK, A CON ARTIST, BUT MOST OF ALL AN AMERICAN KILLER!!\nWE MUST ALL STAND FOR DEMOCRACY!!\nTRUMP DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT TRUE HARDWORKING TAX PAYING AMERICANS DON'T KILL OR WANT TO KILL OTHER AMERICANS PERIOD!! HE'S NEVER PAID TAXES!! \nI WANT TO MOVE TO CANADA WHERE THEIR PRESIDENT REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT HIS COUNTRY AND CANADIANS.

Where are the people who voted him? Let me guess, hiding underneath a rock. Must be so embarrassed for voting for that clown. Trump is all about freedom of speech. Stand up and protest this fool. He will sell out the American people to Putin. As a Canadian thank you world for all the support. We all have a duty to fight evil. Donald is the devil in sheeps clothing.

Australian here,standing always alongside our Canadian friends.Canada, please stay/stand strong along with Mexico, Ukraine,UK, and France\n??????????❤️

Germany and Europe stand behind our Canadian brothers and sisters! We will support you and, in case of doubt, help to defend you. Thank you for your great nation, you are a ray of hope in a very dark world led by egoists and enemies of democracy. May our great democratic nations stand together forever and let every anti-democratic wind smash against our walls. Oh Canada!\nOur home and native land!\nTrue patriot love in all of us command.

I love Canadians. They are sweet, kind, funny, hard working people. I have worked with them plenty. I apologize to our Northern neighbor, and I am so, so sorry this ugliness is being thrown at you. I did not vote for it and never have supported the rapist, felon. Trudeau is an example of a good, stable (Genius...ha ha) leader, who is speaking clearly with adult vocabulary, who is not out to injure anyone yet who is standing up strong for his own people. Him speaking directly to US citizens made me tear up, if only we had this kind of leader.

Wow! So many awesome comments of support, from around the world! This Canadian thanks you. \nMany of us are proud of our outgoing PM. He made some financial mistakes, maybe a bit TOO liberal, but there are also many detractors who I fear are caught up with the same hyperbole that captivated (and fooled) too many Americans; I hope this is a good lesson for them. \nWe will continue to stand on guard, for ourselves, and for what the world wants us to be❤

American student at a Canadian university: Thank you Canada, for speaking out. Many of us know this is wrong, and we do not blame you for the chaotic fall of the U.S. empire. I stand with Canada (and Mexico for that matter).

Im a Canadian living in the us and I stand with Canada!!❤

I L❤ve Canada ?? and Canadians are reasonable intelligent people across the board. Thank you Canada ?? for standing up to Fascism all over the world ?

As a Canadian, I am so humbled to see so many people from so many different countries standing with our people.\n\nThank you, so very much to every one of you who took time to show their support.. It truly means the world ???❤️\n\nElbows up ❤

What I would give to have him as our American president..I hope Canadians and the rest of the world know that half of Americans hate what our president is doing and want to stand with you❤?

Thank you PM Trudeau for referring to DJT by his first name and not President Trump. He doesn't deserve the latter title!! I respectfully stand with you and your Canadian citizens!! ???????????

Canadians can't stand as the democrats have deep state Canadians.

From Vancouver here, last couple week was wild. Me and my friends and family stand with Canada and support local economy ?? this is gonna leave a scar for Canadian and US relationship for a very long time
